Posted Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $200. Pocket Pittie
If you have always dreamed of adopting pit bull, but need a smaller sized dog, a POCKET PITTIE is for you!! Meet pocket pittie, Nathan. Nathan looks and acts so much like a puppy, when he was pulled from the shelter, we though he was a puppy. Surprise!! At Nathan’s first visit to our vet, his age was estimated to be around 3 years old. Nathan has a small stature. He is a small, manageable 40 lbs. and will not get any bigger.
Nathan loves to play and when he gets excited he does the cutest little tap dance with his front paws which is guaranteed to make you laugh everytime he does it. He’s a sweet boy who loves affection. He’s very content just laying in his crate chilling, chewing on a bone. Nathan does need basic training, which his foster mom has started working on with him. When he is adopted he will need continued training. Initially, Nathan didn’t know what either a collar or leash were but he is making progress with his leash manners by leaps and bounds. He is very smart and very treat motivated which makes training a breeze. He can be a little jumpy when excited but we are working on that, also.
Nathan has met several dogs in his foster home and has done good with all of them.
Nathan is great in the crate, but, at times can be somewhat vocal (not barking) if crated while other pets are out and in his view and he can’t join them. He will quiet right down if you cover his crate. Nathan is housebroken.

Posted Breed: Plott Hound / Boxer / Mixed. I am a sweet, sensitive girl looking for a very loving family to call home. I was a great companion to my previous family who had to move and couldn't bring me along. I am smart and would love learning new tricks. My best, current trick, is being a love bug!

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). HI! ALDI here! Just a quick reminder that I'm still looking for a home! I am a young adult who was found stray. Volunteers here say they can't believe no one came to reclaim me bc I'm so pretty, affectionate, and I just love humans! I've been here a while so let me tell you a little more about myself. I am very house trained. I know to go outside to potty or to let you know when I have to go potty. I am a great navigator when we go for rides in the car. I am also quite a player. I love to run around, I love to chase tennis balls, and I love being active and moving around, that's why it's been difficult for me living in a shelter cage! I get frustrated and sometimes I bark and am not so nice to the other dogs in the other cages. But I'm letting everyone know I am not dog aggressive! I prefer the term dog selective. I do like to play with certain other dogs but if a dog is not nice to me, I will most likely not be nice to them. I play rough though! I am showing everyone I seem to absolutely love the big boys who let me play rough with them! I also can take what I give out to them no problem! I am an alpha girl though so the boys are my favorite so far. I am good on a leash but if we pass other doggies, I will pull towards the other dog and I will stop and stare intensely at them. Many times other dogs just don't get me bc although I am super duper smart and know lots of commands even agility I learned so quickly, I don't have the best of manners when meeting other dogs. I am looking for a new home where my mom and/or dad will be able to handle me, hold me bc I am a very strong girl! My new owner should provide me with daily activity, walks, jogs, anything to help wear me out physically and also some training to help me learn new things! I like to keep my mind working, you know! I will try to catch squirrels and little birds so again, my new human should be well prepared to hold me while I pull like a freight train to get to the squirrels and birds. I was cat tested and did pretty well but it was with a dog savvy cat who did not run away from me..so I did not chase however a cat who does run away from me? Well, I call all bets off so if may be best I don't go home with a cat or other small animal. If you have a big, and I'll say it, dopey boy dog who loves to wrestle and roll around and play, and are looking for a playmate for him, come on out and meet me! If you have a home without any other dogs, are experienced and ready to finally bring a new dog into your home, come on out to meet me! My ID number is 1704-0322 and currently I am in a wonderful foster home so if you are interested, please call the shelter at 384-4444 and they will put you in contact with my foster dad. Thank you for considering adoption!

DOG'S DESCRIPTION
Hippo is a sweet guy who is in foster home with children and other dogs and he has excellent manners with both. He is a friendly guy who has just one drawback - Hippo is partially blind and can mostly only see shadows - but it doesn't slow this guy down a bit.

Hippo is a special boys with some special needs but he knows there is a special home out there who will love him forever.
Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.
Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (for dogs over 6 months old), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets.
Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.

Posted Breed: Doberman Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). Our first step is an application which can be filled out atwww.cvrrescue.org
Solo (Han Solo) is a 5 year old 57 pound mix breed (Dobe or maybe GSD?) His zest for life and loyalty for people make him he perfect match for a family who is active...maybe one with bigger kids who love to snuggle and play or a younger couple who love to be outdoors. His current familynis concerned that he might be a little TOO much for their soon to be baby and they want to make sure he continues to get the love, attention, and stimulation that he craves. Due to some anxiety and mild resource guarding (with highly “valued” toys), the family has had him on Prozac for over a year now. He has done excellent with this inexpensive medication. His anxiety does not cause any destructive behavior and he stays uncrated, resting while his family is working. When i met him publicly he was relaxed, passed by dogs with no issue, greeted strangers politely and was very happy to meet me! He handled gentle handling (touching feet, hugging) with no signs of stress...all happiness and kisses. Overall i thought he was an excellent middle aged fellow :) I think in a home with regular walks and stimulation...maybe another sink active dog friend, he would be very happy and well adjusted. solid family is trying to find placement for him as soon as possible.
This dogs adoption fee is $175 which covers the following: spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing, dhp/p, rabies, bordatella (agre appropriate vaccines), deworming, and all the care he received while with CVRR. All animals are on flea and tick and parasite prevention for the duration in fostercare. We are an volunteer group, who process the applications so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone and email addresses for all your references. Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process . We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible. When your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the dog picks you too. If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee and an adoption contract to be signed. The adoption fees help cover a portion of the care provided to the animals. All dogs and cats are microchipped and all animals adopted out are spayed/neutered and fully vetted. **All of our animals have a lifetime commitment. If for any reason, the adoption does not work out, the cats and dogs are to come back to CVRR, which is a NO kill rescue.*** The foster family and the rescue volunteers will choose the new home based on the best fit for the dog/cat.
Our first step is an application which can be filled out atwww.cvrrescue.org
